Time Enjoyed.

rotary that the members proceed to
effect such an organization a general
discussion of the whole question en-
sued. 1t was the unanimous opinion

or sectionalism should appear or be
allowed, but that a necessity existed
Tor a more general personal acquain-
lance, and for better system Of bus
mess methods among the publishers
OF Idaho. Views were then inter.
changed as to prices prevailing at
various points, results of foreign adj
yertising and other details of the bus
mess. 1t was shown that the press
was doing a great deal of missionary
work for the Territory without remun-
GRAFTON, and that there was need for
more self-reliance and independence
IN maintaining and securing rates and
patronage. 1t was decided by motion
TO perfect permanent organization
at this meeting, and to cordially in.
yite all editors and publishers to Join

Tue Colorado Indian war is attract
ing much attention. The Utes are
Indians that are not calculated to give
the government very much trouble in
the present contest. The tribes which
have cost the government the most
through wars are pretty well subdued.
But were the Indians to combine in a
determined war much bloodshed would
be the result They fight with a zeal
and courage that command respect
and they are subtle and active to a
remarkable degree The time has come
for Indian difficulties to be settled in
a spirit of fairness and without blood
shed. The Indians have endured
many cruelties at the hands Of their
white brethren but the enlightenment
Of the age demands that change be
made. 1t demands that deals with the
Indians be upon higher plane and
that word given them be honestly and
strictly kept In their fights for what
they deem their rights they display a
courage, though not always wise,
which is admirable.
